how do i activate my iphone 3gs without a sim?

I have an iPhone 3GS and I am not able to activate it.

I connected it to my computer and attempted an update. Update failed and I had to restore the phone.

After restoring I now have to activate the phone but I do not have a SIM to activate it.

The phone was given to me second hand with no sim.

Please help me.

iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1
